Splitting a P-Rail with push-pull help?

[riksplace]

I have a "partscaster" that has a SD Pearly Gates in the bridge and HAD a '59 in the neck. It has 1 volume and 1 tone that is a push/pull to split the coils (tone control is the only push-pull) and a 3-way Les Paul type selector switch. With the tone/push-pull down it is normal humbucking for either or both pups. Up it splits the coils on either or both pups.

I just changed the '59 neck pickup out for a P-Rail. I want the guitar to still be normal humbucker with push-pull down. But I want the new P-Rail to be on the P-90 side alone (rail side cut off) when push-pull pull is up. I want the p-90 sound in the neck position. How do I wire this?

SD wiring diagrams do not show this exact setup. Don't want to add any further switches.

Thank you

Hi riksplace, and welcome to the forum!

This diagram should get you what you need. Just use the bottom diagram for splitting to the adjustable coil:

You could consider this too. But you'll need push pull for volume and tone and amend the diagram slightly. If you can't work it out let me know and I can do one for you.

Pull one up, splits to the outer coils for Tele like tones, especially in the middle position, pull the other one up splitting to inner coils to get strat like tones especially in the middle, then pull them both up to get the coils in each humbuckers in parallel to get Filtertronish tones.

Both down then they are very fat humbuckers
